Techniques Guide
Crafting is more than a hobby—it’s a creative outlet that allows you to bring beauty, personality, and meaning into your everyday life. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just beginning your journey, exploring art and craft techniques can spark inspiration and unlock your potential. This blog is the space for those who thrive on vibrant visuals, intricate designs, and the satisfaction of hands-on creation. From painting that turns blank canvases into stunning masterpieces to adult coloring that transforms simple outlines into vibrant works of art, weaving that creates intricate textures, and collage that brings diverse elements together into a cohesive design, we’re here to celebrate your unique style and help you create with confidence.
I love the textural aesthetic of hand painted textiles. I recently started painting textiles for my craft booth. I decided to make my signs and banners for my booth hoping to attract customers and really communicate my brand. I never felt that the tablecloths in the market and vinyl signs ever fit my colorful, modern aesthetic.
This is the Sew House Seven Tea House Dress done my way. Using cherry red chambray that I bought over a year ago, I decided to make this gorgeous pattern my own.
Add some bold color to your life! Now in the store. Available in Eye See You print and Found My Tribe print in multiple colors.
I’ve been tinkering. Inspired (and a little jelly) by some amazing printmakers on Instagram. Follow #SurfacePatternDesign or #Blockprinting and you will see marvelous things. I started creating linocuts at the end of last year. As shown here in the Make It Work piece. I embroidered on top of the print.
